This invention relates -to the manufacture ofipreparations derived in Whole or in part from malt and the objectof the invention is tobring such preparations to a condition Where they are readily and easily miscible generally to maltlsyrups and malt extracts,

' maltose, and malt and cereal syrups generally.

Heretofore malt extracts and maltsyr'up I r; t have existed on the market only in the form of materialwhich mixed 'very' slowly With water and other liquids, being" a relatively difficultly soluble non-clarified viscous mass. Ihavexnow discovered that by-the treatment hereinafter detailedlam able to convert into easily soluble substances the malt-syrups and malt extractsof-themarket and incidentally I also clarify and liquefy lthe same; The

f treatment is equallyeffective on maltose and maltose products of many varieties, includring malt and cereal syrups. When thus treat.

' 7 ed, the product suffers no diminution of any Y valuable property, but, on the i contrary,'

Qm'erely acquires valuable attributes.

' The treatment constituting this invention involves primarily the use of a coagulant 1 such as albumen and preferably an edible ale buminous material such as the'vvhites of eggs.

As: illustrative of my method of procedure I lukewarm Water by first beating the albumen Qvvith an egg-beater to a slight foam and grad like,'yvhen added in smallv Shredded vegetable parchmenti paper or'the the filtering process.

Instead of egg albumen directly' from the eggs, the dried egg-white of commerce can be used. It is obvious that equivalents are intended to bcincluded as Within the scope of this invention.
